Ten Tunes For Friday: Spring ’92
Spring 1992 T-Shirt (Pollock)
Last Friday we looked at highlights from 2010, and this Friday we dig eighteen years earlier into the Spring of 1992. This year ushered in an era of creative growth that would peak at the end of 1995. Let’s take a look at one of Phish’s early creative peaks in Spring 1992—in exclusively soundboard fashion. Happy Friday!
***
“Reba” 4.17.92 I
A first set gem from Phish’s first visit to The Warfield in San Francisco.

“Antelope > BBFCFM > Antelope” 3.13.92 II
A classic segment from Providence, Rhode Island, that anyone who collected analogs has heard at least twenty times.

“David Bowie” 4.13.92 I
6.25.10 (G. Lucas)
This first set closer in Tempe, Arizona features some early-era groove at the onset of the jam that just kills.

“Stash” 4.13.92 I
Here is the “Stash” from earlier from the same set in Tempe.

“Split Open and Melt” 4.5.92 II
This compact and powerful version kicked off the second set at the minuscule Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado.
***
“Colonel Forbin’s > Icculus > Mockingbird” 4.16.92 I
1992
Another classic relic of the analog era; Trey slaughters “Mockingbird” like few other versions.
***
“Tweezer” 4.21.92 II
This sublime “Tweezer” from Eureka, California is one of my favorites, regardless of era.

“Harry Hood” 3.20.92 II
6.27.10 (G.Lucas)
This divine “Harry Hood” came in the middle of the second set in spectacular outing in Binghamton, New York.
***
“You Enjoy Myself” 3.25.92 II
A mid-set scorcher from Trax in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Family is good. All watching Jaws. Fireplace lit. cocktails are cold.
Life is good.
Wow.
That’s one helluva trivia question/stat.
This will be the first Super Bowl in history involving both teams without cheerleaders.
Not sure how I feel about that.
They should think about bringing in the hottest cheerleaders in the NFL-
The Iggles.
For future reference to all of you on lot.
If willowed offers you a “cocktail”, be aware that you will not be driving anywhere for at least three days.
All good Neems. Everyone should know about the Wetlands. The Nightengale was more like a Mafia Social Club.
Side note: used to drink Heineken Dark in bottle at the Nightengale. Rando.
They do tend to be a little stiff
High Five
Medium Five
Low Five
Yup……we had a few too many!!
It’s actually a strategy Neemor.
Make the drinks stiff
It only takes a few to get glowing
No bathroom breaks
I don’t miss jams……………ever
also the Wetlands basement was a place to puff freely. kind of an amazing bonus at the time that we didn’t really see as a blessing, more as a right.
but i had my ass handed to me seriously (again) when i puffed a blunt with this guy (enhancing my street cred). we passed it back and forth for a good while. he seemed fine. i seemed like i was high on pcp, which i believe i was.
when i was in 9th grade we bought a “laced” joint the afternoon before a school dance. i was nervous about hitting it the whole walk home after school and the hours before the dance. my friends and i shared a bottle of Andre Burgandy (as opposed to it’s sister schwag wine Cold Duck) and proceeded to hit the dusted jay, only to get a basic dirtweed high. we were kind of bummed. i guess we thought we were going to break out in spontaneous hallucinations, violence and crimes.
i have no other place to tell this sad and silly tales than this board. thank you for your patience.
Oh, I know that there’s definitely a method to your madness.
Definitely did the trick.
I met seven thousand people that night.
So, I’m thinking that you, myself and TIII should put out an instructional video on dancing at a show.
Whatcha think?
Good stuff, gdad.
I have never seen PCP.
Which sucks because it would go a long way to explaining half of my life.
Basement of the wetlands, blacklights galore. Crazy stuff took place down there. Spend hours reading the stuff on the walls.
@GD
I now have to stop telling people nobody is going to give you laced shit, you are first person I’ve ever spoken with that was passed a laced blunt.
@lw
Yeah, my best friend actually got laced weed one time. Went out and smoked it during school, then when he was coming back he got so fucked his brain stopped flipping the images from his eyes, so he was seeing things upside down… Needless to say, he bailed on class for the day pretty quick after that!
But with the amount of times that kid has bought trees, I’d say that that one time is fairly statistically insignificant…
only to get a basic dirtweed high. we were kind of bummed. i guess we thought we were going to break out in spontaneous hallucinations, violence and crimes.
That is such a let down!! hallicinations, vilence and crime are so much fun. I miss being young.
You know what else is awesome….doing donuts in a parking lot.
I burned out coming out of a parking lot with my kids in the car today….they thought it was sooooooooooo awesome.
My wife…not so much
llfa
The kiddos dig when dad drives on the edge a little bit (within reason).
But I imagine it goes from giggles to screaming and crying quickly if you lose control and nail a curb doing a donut.
Kids are pussies.
“You can’t blame the youts when they don’t learn, you can’t fool the youts”-P.Tosh 🙂
me and my buddy smoked a blunt laced with something many years back.. We had a whole plan.
We were going to go for a ride in my car and puff it down driving thru the mountains near my college. We were really excited.
Off we go (I was driving), about 2 puffs into the J (5 minutes into the trip), I had to pull over, I was too fucked up to drive.
We walked 2 miles back to campus. Left my car on the side of the road.

Come on, we don’t need to hear about your post-show plans dude.
